I think I look better in darker clothes. And maybe the fact that I wear black so much makes me more aware of putting people at ease.

You want to have butterflies in your stomach, because if you don't, if you walk out onstage complacent, that's not a good thing.

Obviously, some people are thick, and they're not gonna see what they don't want to see.

Partly, I like a bad reputation. But I also want a reputation of being a good person.

Why there aren't people out there willing to have fun playing rock 'n' roll. I just don't get it.

I'm not a list person.

I don't know if I miss it per se, but I do miss the fact that there just doesn't seem to be any rock 'n' roll out there anyplace. Everything does seem kind of tame. It's even hard in Manhattan to go out and find a good band to go see.

And you have a record company behind it, this is a key too, you need people to fight for your records, at least a little bit. So if you have a great song, it's catchy, and you've got a little bit of help, I think that's all you need. But there hasn't been that in music.

I've been doing this stuff for so long it's the one aspect of my life that I've paid attention to and really sort of not paid attention to the rest of it.

You know, I have a really tough time finding new bands.

I don't like to say where I'll be in 10 years.

Blackheart Records being 25 years old represents staying power and the fact that we weren't able to get a record out through conventional means, so we had to create this record company to put out our records if we wanted to be a band that had records to give out to their fans.

Def Leppard is obviously a different band that we are, but the music work well tighter. And the audiences seem work well together too. We are opening, but we're having a good time.

I love to engage with people who come to see us.

I sure saw a lot of kids that I'm sure didn't know a lot about us, or we were definitely new to them. The kids who came up to me afterward, we'd talk about music, sign a lot of autographs. So I'm sure we made a lot of new fans.

My parents taught me I could be anything in the world I wanted to be.

So it was out of necessity that Blackheart was born. I think it's great that now, 25 years later, we're not only putting out our own music, but are able to put out music by other bands. That's really exciting for us.

So now 20 years later people want us to get together so they can take shots at all these old babes trying to get back some youth. I mean come on; I've been there. I know what the press would do.

Girls see these defined roles they're supposed to follow in life, but when I was a young child, my parents told me I could be anything.

Before I settled on music, I wanted to be an archaeologist, an astronaut, all sorts of really diverse things.

I've always got something to say.

A lot of the songs I've recorded are songs I write.

The media says that equality for women has arrived, but if you look around, you still don't see girls playing guitars and having success with it.

I was in drama, wanted to be an actor.

I think it's important to have mystique.

I want to be singing to everybody, and I want everybody to think that I'm singing to them. Guys, girls and everyone in between.

I don't know if I get recognized necessarily, though I do get looked at a lot - but I don't know if it's because of who I am, or if people just think I look weird.

I don't look good in beige.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is God's gift, that's why we call it the present.

I enjoy life when things are happening. I don't care if it's good things or bad things. That means you're alive.

I hate housework! You make the beds, you do the dishes and six months later you have to start all over again.

Don't follow any advice, no matter how good, until you feel as deeply in your spirit as you think in your mind that the counsel is wise.

I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw that my bath toys were a toaster and a radio.

People say that money is not the key to happiness, but I always figured if you have enough money, you can have a key made.

Life goes by fast. Enjoy it. Calm down. It's all funny. Next. Everyone gets so upset about the wrong things.

Part of my act is meant to shake you up. It looks like I'm being funny, but I'm reminding you of other things. Life is tough, darling. Life is hard. And we better laugh at everything; otherwise, we're going down the tube.

I'm grateful for every day I'm still alive. Everything is still working. I attribute it to eating a lot of processed foods. I think it's the preservatives that keep me going. That, and I eat as much chocolate as I can get my hands on.

I have no methods; all I do is accept people as they are.

I don't excercise. If God had wanted me to bend over, he would have put diamonds on the floor.

The first time I see a jogger smiling, I'll consider it.

Diets, like clothes, should be tailored to you.

I'm in nobody's circle, I've always been an outsider.

If God wanted us to bend over he'd put diamonds on the floor.

I told my mother-in-law that my house was her house, and she said, 'Get the hell off my property.'

Forty for you, sixty for me. And equal partners we will be.

I was smart enough to go through any door that opened.

I've had so much plastic surgery, when I die they will donate my body to Tupperware.

It's been so long since I've had sex I've forgotten who ties up whom.

Never floss with a stranger.

I wish I had a twin, so I could know what I'd look like without plastic surgery.
